He is fulfilling his promises ... today World Champion in 800 m freestyle ... What a great and inspiring Athlete !!
Winning gold from the last lane is just unbelievable..!!!
actually why is that?
@@mohamedb737 Probably wall lanes gives disadvantages of not seeing fellow competitors and also waves and chop bounces from walls also may affect the athletes.
If I'm not wrong , athletes with the slowest timings will be put in wall lanes.
@@minilroy8774 oh I see! thanks!
@@mohamedb737mainly because of the choppy waters
@@minilroy8774 I disagree somewhat. The not seeing competition part I agree on, but they can't see you either. Also the wave part, many surf the opponents wave now, it can be an added plus, but you have to know how.
To think that he was breathing away from the rest of the field, he still managed to grab the gold. Congrats!
Ever heard of peripheral vision?
@@haydenbellotti8508 that was a free style event not a breaststroke event so how can you apply peripheral vision there?
@@michaelcrezaga8408 You still know where they are except if they're three to four lanes away. I swam in squads and competitions for 20 years. Not saying I was great though. Ha ha.
But yeah, Big Congrats. I hope Winnington's headspace is OK. He didn't perform to expectations in this meet.
@@groberts2618 The Silver medalist was in Lane 2 bro
he is still under 20 years old.
what a hope

Great Race ya Ahmed , Paris 2024 inshallah Best Wishes from Egypt
nope, he's going to be tested every day! lol
@@teehee8101 what?
ان شاء الله 🇹🇳
Unfortunately he’s not competing in it
Huge respect for the young man🥇
I was hoping for Mühlleitner at this race because I’ve raced him by myself already and I’ve been with him at some meets so I hoped for him that he would win this, but to than see Hafnaoui the guy nobody watched win made me probably even happier! What an amazing Olympic moment!
تونس 🇹🇳 ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 تونس انها مدرسة راقية في السباحة من قديم وليس بجديدة ❤
Ahmed we love you ❤🇹🇳
Absolute legend!!!
Background music should be replaced with commentary

Star is born... Can see bright future of this young star
HE IS A TUNISIAN PRIDE🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🥰
Tunisia has three Olympic gold medals in swimming
The Tunisian Shark world champion today 800m🇹🇳🇹🇳❤️
What was incredible was that on the final 50 m, he was breathing away from the field so it was hard for him to know where he was until he touched the wall.
He just saw that he was close enough and just dug deep in the final lap and came out on top. It was just amazing to watch honestly. 🔥🔥🔥
There’s googles that increase your field of view since regular ones restrict your view. I also can’t speak on his mental strategy but me and a few people I know purposely breathed away from the field on some races the last leg because it can psych you out. I only didn’t do that if I knew I was really close to someone and needed to see where they were or if I swimming against a rival
It’s always better to breathe to the side you feel more comfortable with in a race and just focus on swimming your own race.
@@psychedelicgoat3464 that’s very true for instances. Only time my coaches ever said to pay attention to people was during relays lol
@@psychedelicgoat3464 disagree that one should be focusing on 'your own race' when your battling for gold on the last 50 of the 400 at the olympic final. i'm sure he had a good sense of where he was
That probably helped him, he couldn't ant to go faster or anything
Mazal nheb nchouf had race! MashAllah ! Bravo 3lik, mouchaji3a mina lmaghrib ❤🇲🇦
Best race at the Tokyo olympics
It was a great one but there were so many great races in Tokyo both in swimming and in the track. The best Olympics of my lifetime and I remember watching religiously as far back as 1980.
@@sylvainguinepain5624 what made the Tokyo Olympics in particular “the best Olympics” of your lifetime? Especially considering that crowds were not allowed due to the pandemic. Was it the competition? The medallists? What was it?
@@joyjoyjoyful so many great races, great match ups, records, performances especially in swimming (which is my favorite) and track and field. The fact that spectators weren’t allowed didn’t change much for me. I wasn’t there. Also TV broadcast usually put background noises to simulate crowds so you really forget about it after a while. For me it’s all about the performances of the athletes and high level competitions. These Olympics were great. I also admit that waiting an extra year during a pandemic probably made it so that I would have watched just about anything.
Great job Ahmed ❤🇹🇳
At this age of 18 from the line 8 to win the gold , a legend is Born
Bravooo ayoub , félicitations 😍🇹🇳🇹🇳💪
Nace una estrella, Felicidades!!! Bien por Túnez!!! Y apenas tiene 18 años
Muchas Gracias ❤️
Man’s said she 😂
Why not just upload the normal race with commentary? The music is stupid
I agree
Because the commentators were clueless and never once mentioned him until he was within a few meters of winning, even though he was among the leaders gif the entire race?
@@anah3864 maybe they thought he ll fall back to 5th place at the end
probably for copyrights!!!
La Tunisie avec des graines de héros uniques nous aimons la Tunisie nous aimons nos heros
Well done Ahmed!

I will never forget watchin him, i was like dont side lanes should be slower? Then i said omg he is rocking it....then the laast 100 m i was dam shock seeing him torpeedo to the end
Today 30/7/2023 world champion in 1500 m freestyle in Japon 😎
I remember watching this and thinking as the race unfolded how completely atypical it was - the leaders throughout the race were all in the outer lanes, and lanes 4 and 5 were the "laggards." That must have been a rude shock to them to look across and realize almost everyone else in the finals heat was ahead of them throughout the race!
That’s my brother 😁👍
Background music is too loud.
I saw this live
He won the gold in 1500 freestyle today at the swimming world championship

Very good ,still slower than Sunyang
But a lot less drugs in his system than Sun Yang has
drug yang
even tho he was on drugs his technique was incredible
of course he's slower than sun yang. he doesn't take steroids and he's the same age as me he's literally a kid
Sun Yang finished 8th at Ahmed's age. Plus, isn't Sun on some illegal stuff?
